Progress

Great progress on the story in the last two days. Today I articulated a new plot point that must be the result of my recent weeks of brooding -- it's organic, essential, I wonder how I could have told the story without it. It was there all the time, waiting for what T. S. Eliot called its "object correlative" and now it exists concretely with important dramatic consequences. The clearer this all becomes, the more I like it. But its emotional complexity remains, and I hope I have the craft to pull it off. We'll see.
